Burial of the Unnamed One.

Anew York Herald reporter draws
sad picture, too often seen in thegreat
cities-the burial OF one unnamed in
the family circle: !,
1t was face OF peace. Soft fair
tresses were brushed back from white
shapely brow and tender features.
The girls hand lay lightly on the UNI
troubled breast, where all could see
the little hoop OF gold that wiped out
all her past life and made her wife.
In and out OF the faith home for fallen
women, in West Twenty-seventh
street, there trooped bold women,
tricked out in silks and fine feathers,
with world OF paint and powder
that could not hide the scars that sin
and shame had left there. Some of
them bent low over the still figure of
one plucked from the sisterhood two
years ago. and when they went away
somehow there were tears upon the
cheeks of the dead girl. Poor Fanny.
Years ago she learned to daily with
temptation on the brim of the wine
cup. Motherless, almost fatherless,
she fell. One winter night two years
ago she was arrested Tor drunkenness.
She asked to be sent to the home in
West Twenty-seventh street. There
she was kept by Miss Strachan, its
founder, for eight months. Finally
Fannie was married to a respectable
young German, who was converted in
the chapel OF the home, but she grad
ua'ly faded. On Saturday she died in
the arms of her young husband. The
minister said few words encouraging
the dead girls former companions 20
follow her good example. Many OF
them cried while singing Fanny's ia
vorite lines: Glide me, oh. my Saw
Jour hide till the storm OF life is past"
Then they took her to Greenwood and
laid her in a grave on the top OF hill,
and it is there that the children, wan
lering along the paths, first find vio-
cts in the spring.
